I was at school with Martin 'Mental' Metcalfe lead singer with Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie. They were originally a Bathgate group before relocating to Edinburgh where they could get more exposure. That's where they linked up with Shirley Manson now of Garbage.
I still have an original demo tape of theirs from about 1980 that I got from their then bass player, Chuck Parker, who sadly died of a brain tumour a couple of years ago.

In case my previous effort gets thrown out of court I'll go for this one below. I was minded of it when I saw @Sir Shrink was lurking and for some reason I thought back to the day I picked him up from the train station to go and meet Frenchman for a pint [special glass and all ]. This and other OMD classics were playing in the car on the drive down to civilisation.

They're gone, not here, forgotten
The maroon brigade now cry
The city is now Hibernian
The team that would not die

Different genre...but any 80s list has to have The Jam on it. Unfortunately some of my personal favourites span the turn of the decade between the 70s and 80s but of the ones in the 80s Town Called Malice a stand out and still brings the house down at Weller gigs. Also the transformation to the Style Council and Long Hot Summer and You're the best thing.
